Bethany College accepts students on a rolling basis but encourages students to apply at any time after the junior year in high school. All students for first year admission consideration must submit the following:

• The free Bethany College application for admission
• Official high school or secondary school transcripts with at least six semesters completed
• All official post-secondary school transcripts, if taking dual credit classes.

A cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale is required for admissions. It is highly recommended that high school students pursue four years of English; three years of mathematics, three years of natural science (including two years of laboratory science), and three years of social science. Students are also encouraged to complete at least one year of a foreign language, preferably two.

Bethany College is test optional and does require the ACT of SAT for general college admission.
